Bright v. State
The Second District reversed a probation revocation order where the trial court found violations of four conditions but one ground—failure to make court-cost and electronic-monitoring payments per a schedule devised by the probation office, not the court—was unsupported by competent substantial evidence. Because the record did not clearly show the court would have revoked probation based solely on the three valid violations, the case was remanded for reconsideration, and the written order was also directed to conform to the court's oral pronouncement regarding two other conditions.
